How people have forgotten, or maybe it didn't even register in the first place. The devastation of UNWRA in Gaza has had crippling effects on the Palestinians.
Saul Staniforth@saulstaniforth.bsky.social · 19h ago"Before the war.. [UNRWA] used to have 22 healthcare centres located across the strip. Now only 6 are operational. Israel has also severely limited UNRWAs humanitarian role. The agency is no longer allowed to bring aid into Gaza" Tareq Abu Azzoum reporting.

Australia says a settlement trade ban could hurt Palestinians. The Palestinian Authority wants one
Australia declined to join 12 countries backing action on trade with illegal West Bank settlements, citing concerns about Palestinian livelihoods. The Palestinian Authority supports the restrictions – and Australia’s past approach to apartheid South Africa offers a pointed historical comparison.

Why would you trust an industry founded on theft to self-regulate?
If Albo genuinely believes that the Indo Pacific should not be a chess board for superpowers he should stop being a pawn of the USA, surrendering our sovereignty to the Trump administration and turning Australia into a forward base for US nuclear weapons and a nuclear target!

When Donald Trump celebrates war profiteering, peddles conspiracy theories, threatens Iranians with annihilation, calls for a coup and slanders the ICC, what does our Prime Minister do? He takes a selfie with him. Seriously cringeworthy stuff.

The American Jewish C'tee are holding a "diplomatic marathon" while UN GA is on. They are going to have a stern word with Australia. More selfies/photo ops anyone?
![“This is an opportunity to have really meaningful conversations with friends who are standing firmly with us and understand the challenges that Israel faces and are supportive,” AJC CEO Ted Deutch said in an interview at the group’s offices in Washington. “And then we’ll have conversations with countries who have been taking challenging positions, and we have very frank conversations as we will this year in particular when we meet with our friends from the U.K. and Canada and Australia and France.”
He argued that those conversations are critical to discuss the countries’ decisions to impose sanctions on what they deem to be occupied territories, a move he said “damages the prospects for peace” and “plays into the hands of extremists who wish to drive a wedge between Israel and her democratic allies.”
“Democratic allies should be coming together, not drifting apart. Israel is a democratic ally of these countries that plays a critical role in the Middle East’s stability,” Deutch said.
He said AJC had similar “difficult conversation[s]” around U.S. allies’ decision to recognize a Palestinian state. “That’s not just meant to be critical, but actually, to help them understand why this is a bad decision.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4u3ntnro6i5akw2yl5bkfamq/bafkreignbdf3rwdvzlcbvxhrmzircqrj2jjs7p4fzmovbe5ccqoymmjxhi)

Maybe the RBA and the government should be focusing on the ‘company profit-price spiral’ 🤷

This is an extraordinary act of direct foreign interference by the US embassy in domestic Australian politics. The Australian government should publicly respond by rejecting efforts by the US embassy to dictate how Australia legislates for a digital duty of care.
Dumbfounded that extreme weather due to climate change doesn’t make the top 10 given 20,400 heat-related deaths recorded in France, Germany, Spain & Italy in the 22–28 June heatwave alone & 434,976 hectares burned in the EU by 30 July in the Nthern Hem summer. Utter negligence Jim Chalmers!
